Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the adsorption properties of biochar and activated biochar made from pequi endocarp to treat water pollution, specifically analyzing its effectiveness on blue methylene dye.
- The biochar was extensively characterized using various techniques (FTIR, SEM, XRD, TG) to evaluate its structural and surface properties before and after dye adsorption.
- Results indicated that the activated biochar had superior adsorption capabilities, losing less mass and exhibiting significant adsorption rates, making it a promising solution for dye removal in contaminated water.
Water pollution has generated the need to develop technologies to remove industrial pollutants. Adsorption has been recognized as one of the most effective techniques for effluent remediation. In this study, parts (stem and leaves) of a problematic aquatic weed, the water hyacinth (), were separated to produce a bioadsorbent.
